SEC. 821. MODIFICATION OF TIME PERIOD
FOR CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF THE LEASE OF CERTAIN VESSELS
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

Section 2401(h)(2) of title 10, United

session of Congress' and inserting `60 days'.

Modification of time period for
congressional notification of the lease of certain vessels by
the Department of Defense. (sec. 821)

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would amend
section 2401 of title 10, United States Code, by modifying the
time period for congressional notification of the lease of
certain vessels from 30 days of continuous session to 60 days.

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 886)
that would change the notice period from 30 days of continuous
session to 30 days.

The Senate recedes.

House Report 112-479

SECTION 811--MODIFICATION OF TIME
PERIOD FOR CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF THE LEASE OF CERTAIN
VESSELS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

This section would amend section 2401 of
title 10, United States Code, by modifying the time period for
congressional notification of the lease of certain vessels from
30 days of continuous session to 60 days.

Senate Report 112-173

Modification of period of wait following
notice to Congress of intent to contract for leases of certain
vessels and vehicles (sec. 886)

The committee recommends a provision that would amend section
2401(h) of title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the
requirement of notification of Congress and then having to wait
for 30 days of a continuous session of Congress to pass before a
vessel lease contract may be made. The proposed change would
ensure that Congress continues to receive a 30-day notice of
proposed charters, but would eliminate the uncertainty that
results from a congressional schedule that seldom provides a
period of 30 days of continuous session.
